Chapter 209: The Mayor's Daughter is Being Bullied!
Tang Ye rushed to Hanzhou Middle School in a great hurry.
Inside the office.
Tensions were high!
Class Teacher Zhu's fingertip was almost poking Jiang Rou's forehead.
"As a transfer student, your foundation is very weak. The most important thing right now is to devote all your energy to your studies.
Our class is a Rocket Class, and it only opens its doors to students with outstanding grades.
If you cannot keep up with the study progress and are always causing trouble, then I am sorry, but I will have to trouble you to withdraw from school voluntarily."
Tang Ye secretly broke into a cold sweat.
He had already experienced Jiang Rou's temper.
If she were provoked, there was no telling what kind of mess she might cause.
Jiang Rou stood with her hands in her pockets, her posture straight, staring directly at the Class Teacher without a hint of fear.
Seeing Jiang Rou's stubborn and unresponsive demeanor, Class Teacher Zhu was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of her ears.
Just at this moment, her peripheral vision swept over Tang Ye.
Class Teacher Zhu finally found an outlet for her frustration.
"Who are you to Jiang Rou?"
Tang Ye put on a full face of smiles, "I am Jiang Rou's uncle, and also her guardian. May I ask what mistake Jiang Rou has made?"
Uncle?
Class Teacher Zhu looked Tang Ye up and down.
His attire was mature and steady, and judging solely by his appearance, he was not much older than Jiang Rou.
Class Teacher Zhu sat heavily on her chair and slapped the desk hard with her palm.
"She hasn't even been in school for a week, and she's already fighting with a male classmate. A girl acting like a female hooligan—what kind of behavior is this!"
Tang Ye hurriedly looked at Jiang Rou, only to see red scratch marks on her neck.
However, seeing Jiang Rou's calm and composed appearance, her emotions seemed stable, so she must not have come out on the losing end!
"If Jiang Rou did something wrong, I will definitely apologize to the other party on her behalf," Tang Ye said with a sincere face.
Jiang Rou glared fiercely at Tang Ye, her eyes full of defiance.
Tang Ye keenly sensed Jiang Rou's reaction and immediately changed his tone.
"However, this matter must be investigated clearly. I believe her; she wouldn't provoke others for no reason."
Jiang Rou's cold, frost-like expression finally changed.
"The child she hit today has excellent academic grades, ranks in the top ten in the same grade, is the deputy class monitor of our class, and is a top student the school is focusing on cultivating."
"Good grades don't represent everything. I want to hear what Jiang Rou has to say first."
"When that boy passed by her, he accidentally knocked over her stationery. She hit him immediately. Many classmates can testify to this."
Tang Ye looked at Jiang Rou, his gaze filled with encouragement and trust, "I know your character; you would never hit someone over such a small matter."
Jiang Rou suppressed her emotions, "I don't want to explain, and I can't be bothered to explain."
Tang Ye knew there must be a hidden story behind this.
At this moment, a woman in her forties walked in from outside the classroom, with a boy standing behind her.
The boy was tall, wearing a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and at first glance, he gave people a very honest impression.
However, the look in his eyes when he stared at Jiang Rou was full of coldness and hostility.
"Who are you to Jiang Rou?" the middle-aged woman asked in a questioning tone.
"I am Jiang Rou's uncle."
"Why didn't her parents come?"
"Her parents are busy with work, so they entrusted me to handle this."
"Hmph, no wonder this child is so ill-bred; it turns out she has parents but no one to discipline her." The middle-aged woman's words were sharp and mean, like a sharp knife stabbing straight at Jiang Rou.
Hearing such highly insulting words, Jiang Rou's eyes instantly turned red, and she glared fiercely at the middle-aged woman.
A mocking sneer appeared on the middle-aged woman's lips as she continued, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Tang Ye frowned, "Let's discuss the facts; there's no need to bring up irrelevant things."
The middle-aged woman looked disdainful, her nose in the air as she said, "With such poor grades, she still got into the Rocket Class; people should have some self-awareness."
Seeing the other party pushing their luck, Tang Ye retorted without any politeness, "I see it now. With a mother like you, what kind of good child could you raise? It must be that brat who wanted to bully Jiang Rou, and that's why Jiang Rou fought back."
The middle-aged woman did not expect Tang Ye to strike back so forcefully, and she was so angry her face turned livid, "You, you are confusing right and wrong and being unreasonable."
Tang Ye sneered, "Don't think that having good grades can cover up everything. If you educate your child like this, even if he gets into a good university in the future, he will still end up on the wrong path."
Jiang Rou's long-suppressed emotions finally found an outlet, and she couldn't help but let out a "pfft" laugh.
The middle-aged woman was trembling with rage, pointing her finger at Tang Ye and Jiang Rou, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, fine, fine, you think you're justified in hitting people? I'm going to find the Principal. If the Principal can't handle it, I'll take this to the Education Bureau."
Tang Ye had originally wanted to turn a big issue into a small one and just let it go.
But seeing the middle-aged woman refusing to let it go, a cold sneer appeared on his lips.
The middle-aged woman took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Honey! I've seen the other party's family; they are being extremely arrogant and have no intention of apologizing at all. Why don't you give Principal Zhou a call and have him intervene? A child like this shouldn't be in the Rocket Class."
Tang Ye realized then; no wonder this woman had connections.
Jiang Rou sneered at this moment, "So what if it's the Rocket Class? A piece of trash like him who bullies classmates behind people's backs deserves to be taught a lesson."
"Bullies classmates behind people's backs?" Tang Ye looked at Jiang Rou in surprise.
Jiang Rou rolled up her pant leg, pulling it all the way up.
Only then did he see that on her snow-white skin, there were abruptly appearing marks, the dense red spots shocking to the eye.
"He instigated people to do this. Besides me, several other students in the class with poor grades have also been bullied," Jiang Rou sneered, continuing, "They set up private rules; whoever falls behind in grades must accept punishment. The others are angry but dare not speak out."
Daring to bully the Mayor's daughter?
Tang Ye's gaze turned icy and piercing, his tone carrying heavy sarcasm, "Teacher Zhu, your class's grades are so good, is this the 'secret'?"
Teacher Zhu's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.
"Liangliang would absolutely never do such a thing, you vixen, you even wrote love letters to Liangliang, trying to seduce him."
Jiang Rou sneered with disdain, "With that kind of character he has, would I seduce him?"
The middle-aged woman acted as if she had gone mad, saying to Teacher Zhu, "Teacher Zhu, you have already done your best in this matter. Principal Zhou is an old friend of Liangliang's uncle; I believe Principal Zhou will certainly handle this impartially."
Regarding Jiang Rou's sudden transfer into the class, the Class Teacher, Teacher Zhu, had always had a bit of a headache.
Teacher Zhu spread his hands helplessly.
"Then please have Principal Zhou come forward!"
Hanzhou Middle School is the best high school in the local area, its students are outstanding, and as for the students' family backgrounds, it is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside.
After waiting for ten minutes or so, Principal Zhou walked into the classroom in a hurry.
The moment he saw Tang Ye, his whole person seemed to be frozen in place.
"Eh, Section Chief Tang, so today's matter involves your niece!"
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding welled up.
Principal Zhou gave the middle-aged woman a look, "Please step aside to talk."
The middle-aged woman was full of doubt, but could only follow Principal Zhou to the office next door.
"Regarding the matter of your son being beaten, I feel very sorry.
The school will certainly investigate and handle this matter.
However, I suggest you let the matter rest.
The other party's guardian has a very special status, and it is not convenient for me to tell you."
How could the middle-aged woman easily swallow this insult, "Principal Zhou, you can't handle the problem so rashly, can you?"
Principal Zhou couldn't be bothered to entangle himself with her, "I will call Secretary Wang."
